Yeah, something with the horizontal cylinder is of. It rotates a bit too much.
The wobble on the top of the glass should indicate the tilting of the cylinder.

No 3D software involved.

ptoing pretty much explained it already. The head, main body and the legs were animated seperatly. The swinging
hoses and a few other details were added at the end.

probably about 8-9 hours

Lordofsax: When animating something with lots of moving parts/secondary motion you should always break things down and not try to animate everything at once. As a good example: When old Disney animators animated Pluto they would animate the tail in the very end when everything else was generally done. By doing that they assured that it reflected Pluto's motion and feelings accurately, which would be harder to do if you tried doing it at the same time as everything else.

Great consistency all around. The fluidity of the brainbot animation coupled with the overall attention detail makes for a great piece and quite the original submission! The foreshortening on the legs and the cylindrical remote pack are particularly stellar.
